Ho do I change my fluid in my manual transmission?

admin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:22:51 +0000

Most manual transmissions are easy to change however there are a couple of things to be careful about, the first is that there are many types of fluids, most manual transmissions DO NOT use 90w gear oil anymore so be sure to check your manual or check with your transmission man on what type to use on your car or truck, another thing to be careful of is when pulling the drain and fill plugs that you pull the correct plugs and not make the mistake that many, many people have by pulling the bolt that is really the reverse idler pivot pin, when this happens the inner clip pops off and you lose reverse! So just drain and fill and call your Transmission Man if you need any help

How do I change my automatic transmission fluid and filter?

admin — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:04:16 +0000

Most automatic transmissions can be serviced by a "DO-IT YOURSELFER" with a little mechanical experience, most automatic transmissions have a pan on the bottom of the transmission, most pan bolts come off with either 10mm or 13mm socket, once the pan is removed the filter is easiely replaced and most pans go back on with 6 to 8 foot lbs of torque. usually filling the transmission with about 3 quarts of fluid before restarting the engine and then carfully top-off untill full with factory recommended fluid, do final level check after fully warmed up about 15 minutes.

How often should you change your transmission fluid?

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:34:32 +0000

Check your owners manual, there will be a section under maintenance that will show how many miles there should in between fluid changes As an example ford recommends it be done every 30,000 miles for most normal use cars but always it varies by car model.

The important thing to remember is changing the filter when doing a transmission service because the transmissions filter collects all the debris from the normal ware and tear of everyday use and just like a vacuum cleaner bag in your home gets full, them plugs up and the vacuum motor makes noise that sounds like its straining and there gets to be no more suction and that's what happens to your fluid pressure if the filter isn't changed it plugs up ant starves the transmission pump of oil and your transmissions clutches and bands burn up because there's not enough fluid pressure to hold the clutch packs.

Some ford vehicles also have a drain plug in the transmission's torque converter, on these models it's a snap to drain the rest of the fluid and this is important especially on fords because when the fluid gets old it oxidises and the torque converter clutch glazes and when this happen it will slip and chatter upon apply of the torque converter clutch with light to medium throttle @ about 40mph to about 55 mph. If caught right away and all the transmission fluid is changed the chatter will stop and the transmission's life will be extended!

How to check my transmission fluid

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:46:07 +0000

Checking your vehicles transmission fluid is very important!

To check your cars transmission follow these steps.

1. The vehicle must be warmed up to get a correct reading, driving around the block once should do it.
2. Always set the parking brake for saftey and make sure to be on a level surface.
3. With the engine running and transmission in park (some chryslers to transmsssion needs to be in neutral ) pull out the transmission dipstick and wipe it off.
4. Reinstall the stick, wait 2 seconds and pull it out making sure to keep the stick in a horizontal position. Carefully check both sides of the stick, and whichever side of the stick shows a lower fluid level is the side to trust.
5. Add the correct type fluid if low and make sure the transmission does not have any leaks.

How to check my transmission fluid with no dipstick

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 18:45:24 +0000

Many newer transmissions no longer have dipsticks to check the fluid and they have to be checked from under the vehicle by removing a fill or level check plug like in the old days with manuel transmissions. Some vehicles like the Ford Explorer, have a plug on the transmission pan that you remove with the engine running, you check and fill the transmission through this one plug

Noise when shifting Gears

When you shift gears you feel a slight pause, then hear a clunk. It may sound like it is coming from the front or rear of the car. This problem will likely gradually get worse…..
